Just stopping the server temporarily while you setup the token should suffice.
Once that is done you can start the SB server again / advanced scene switcher won’t need that port afterwards.
I can't answer your question, but I do know that it's more nuanced than that.
From your example script, you're asking about reading stdout as text. There's also stderr, and a few others that only have numbers: 1 = stdout, 2 = stderr, 3-9 are just those numbers. And there's the return value or exit code (two names for the same thing), which there's only one of and can only be a number, not text. All of those would be useful.

I found the solution by deleting a few msvcp-files in the folder 64-bit as suggested by R1CH. Because I had the same issue (error message) when I started the new version of OBS Studio 30.2.0 in portable mode, I searched for an solution in the forum and I found it here:
OBS launching with error
Hi, updated OBS, and on relaunch was prompted with this error: Outdated Visual C++ Runtime OBS Studio requires a newer version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables. You will now be directed to the download page. Clicking OK links to the following page...
obsproject.com
Now I don't receive error messages when I start OBS Studio 30.2.0 and also not when I go to Advanced Scene Switcher.
I can also see for example the "video" condition type.

I'm wondering if there is a way to set a variable to be the value of a text source. Currently using an API plugin to periodically update text sources in certain scenes.
I was thinking I could automate it so when the API changes these text values I would have a macro that checks that the saved variable and text source no longer match, show a scene, then sets the variables to the contents of the updated text source.
I've managed to figure out the condition side of this using the 'Setting value matches' functionality (and doing a NOT check) but can't figure out if the setting of the variable side is possible. I've looked at the Variable options and nothing is jumping out at me!
Thanks!

It requires an Action to set the variable - a Condition won't do it. Are you asking how to get the value that the Condition saw?

You know what, i've done what I needed to do without the use of variables. Condition check if 'settings value changed' does what I wanted to do for me. Fantastic tool it really is!

Flatpak Plugins not loading in OBS 30.2.1
Since updating to OBS 30.2.1 and opening OBS, no plugins that were previously installed are showing. I have a flatpak installation on Zorin OS. Only think that has changed from a couple weeks ago to now was the OBS update.To find my plugins folder to go to File>Show Settings Folder which is /home/[user]/.var/app/com.obsproject.Studio/config/obs-studio/plugin-config/. In this folder I see all of my plugin files that I have previously installed with all of the logs, exports, etc. still saved in there however, they are not showing in OBS. Please help, this is a nightmare and software engineers are really messed up.
I think this is better posted as a new thread in the Linux subforum. This thread is about a specific plugin, regardless of OS.
But generally, flatpak, snap, and other containers are not very well compatible with OBS anyway. Only use them if you absolutely have to. Install natively instead. Not only do containers make plugins a mess, but their intentional design is counter to what OBS needs to really work well.
Containers are sandboxes. Few things get in, and few things get out. This intentional lack of connection caters to a security mindset, with standalone apps that don't need much connection. OBS needs access to all kinds of system resources, like cameras, audio, etc. It can be made to work, but you have a bunch of hoops to jump through, and by the time it does, you've effectively negated all the benefits of the container while keeping most of its drawbacks.
Besides, live media and security/privacy are kinda opposites of each other anyway. You're like a giant billboard that says, "Look at me! I'm over here! And I'm spewing information!"
(Don't have anything private on your streaming rig, especially not in a form that allows it to appear by accident while you're live! But if you don't have it on there at all, then of course it can't appear, not even by accident.)
Anyway, don't use containers. Flatpak, snap, etc. Always install OBS natively if at all possible.

we need to create a search function or something... i believe ive perfected my macros, but if I sit there for 5-6 mins, something triggers that shouldnt be, doesnt highlight, actions are not something id create, I cant figure out why its happening, wish i could search for the action, because if its there, ive freaking hidden it WELL. Gone over my macro 100's of times and cant find it. - mostly venting, but would be usefull
Would it help to create a document like this (attached) for your rig? *Always* keep an *exact* match between it and all of your macros, and do your first round of troubleshooting in there. It's helped me a lot, because I can see a lot at once, in a way that's easy to see connections and interactions.
AaronD, sorry for the late reply, I realize I forgot to give you an update: thank you very much for all the input, but in the end I found an other (easier?) solution, I removed many of my macros and I just started using Streamer bot. The tool makes my life much easier! Cheers anyway for the help.

Is the plugin completely broken on 30.2.2?
It is only like half working. I want it to switch to 'intermission' when I'm in a group waiting to load into a boss. It seems to pick up the 'in group' shot fine and switches to 'intermission' but I can't get it to go back to game automatically. It's really ticking me off and I'm about to uninstall this plugin since it is not working right.
It picks up the "in group" image like this just fine, but when that is not showing in-game, I want it to automatically go back to the Game screen.
I've tried two separate macros with the friends list (which is in the same spot when not in a group) to switch to game, but that didn't work. I also tried "Else" on the main macro, to no avail as well.
Right now, this is the only game I'd use it for, so if I can't get it working, it's not really worth keeping installed. Don't have any other games I'd use it on right now.

Can you share a screenshot of the macro(s) you have set up and are not working as expected?
I assume that it should look something like this from what you have described:
Do you have configured other macros which might interfere with this one?
Can you enable verbose logging and share a log file of the issue?
The option to enable verbose loggin can be found on the General tab at (1) in the screenshot below:
OBS log files can be found under the "Help" section:
"+1" how?
- Incrementing filename?
- Append to existing content?
- Replace existing content?
- Read existing content, convert to a number, add 1, and replace with the new number as text?
- Something else?
Thank you for the reply!
I guess the 4th option.
Like lets say the content of the txt-file = 3 it replaces it by 4...
What if there's more than just a number in it? Like maybe you gave it your shopping list by mistake, instead of a scorecard?
- Take the first or last number?
- Replace the entire contents with just the result?
- Replace only the found number with its result?
- Increment all found numbers in-place? ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcGA4alhPas )
- Just fail?
- What should that failure do?
